Extension - 30x1" IVAR.1530 G

Product detailed description

This extension is commonly used in residential and commercial building projects to adjust pipe lengths in heating, plumbing and irrigation systems. Installers and technicians often require such fittings when aligning components or compensating for dimensional tolerances during system assembly. The fitting ensures a secure and leak-free connection within the hydraulic circuit while maintaining compatibility with standard pipe threading. It is particularly useful in situations where additional length is required between threaded components without altering the system’s integrity.

Its CW617N brass material provides resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, making it suitable for long-term use in both cold and hot water systems. The PN 10 pressure rating allows it to handle typical domestic and light industrial applications, while the temperature limit of +120°C supports use in central heating and underfloor heating circuits. The fitting is ideal for use in systems where potable water compliance is required, thanks to its ATEST certification.

Technical parameters

Material	Brass CW617N ATEST for potable water
Operating temperature	+120 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Code	1530G0630
Brand	IVAR

The nominal pressure rating of PN 10 indicates the fitting can operate safely under a working pressure of 10 bar at reference temperatures. The maximum operating temperature of +120°C defines its suitability for hot water and heating systems. The CW617N brass material is selected for its durability and resistance to internal and external corrosion, ensuring long-term performance in wet environments. These parameters are essential for correctly sizing the component and verifying compatibility with the rest of the system.

Installation and connection

To install this extension, ensure both ends are clean and free from debris before threading into the adjacent components. Use a suitable wrench to tighten the fitting to the recommended torque for the material and thread type. Check for alignment to prevent stress on the joints and ensure a straight run of pipework. Avoid over-tightening, which can cause deformation or leakage. Always verify the seal integrity after installation by inspecting for signs of moisture or pressure loss during system testing. Incorrect threading or mismatched thread types can lead to leaks or system failure.

Compatibility and accessories

This extension is compatible with standard 1" male and female threads in copper, steel or plastic piping systems. It integrates well with other IVAR fittings and valves in the same pressure and temperature class. When assembling a system, ensure all components are rated for the same operating conditions. Additional sealing materials such as PTFE tape or thread sealant may be required depending on the application and local standards. No specific accessories are required for this model.

Technical background for designers

The extension functions as a passive mechanical element to bridge gaps between threaded components. The CW617N brass alloy offers good thermal conductivity and structural stability, allowing it to maintain its shape and function under fluctuating temperatures and pressures. Its design ensures minimal flow resistance and does not interfere with the hydraulic balance of the system. The material’s resistance to dezincification and pitting enhances its longevity in water systems. Designers should account for thermal expansion and contraction in long runs of piping when specifying multiple extensions in a single circuit.

Service and operation

No regular maintenance is required for this component due to its robust design and non-moving parts. However, periodic visual inspections are recommended to identify signs of wear, corrosion or leakage. If a leak occurs, disassemble the affected section and check for damaged threads or sealing surfaces. Reapply sealing material if necessary. No scheduled service intervals are specified for this model.

Frequently asked questions

Can this extension be used in a central heating system?
Yes, it is suitable for central heating systems as it can handle temperatures up to +120°C and a nominal pressure of PN 10.

Is this fitting compatible with plastic pipes?
Yes, provided the plastic pipes have a standard 1" male or female thread and are rated for the same operating conditions.

Does this extension require a gasket or sealing compound?
Sealing compound or PTFE tape is recommended to ensure a watertight connection, especially in high-pressure or high-temperature applications.

Can this fitting be used in potable water systems?
Yes, it is certified for use in potable water systems through the ATEST approval.
